    Jeezus pleezus. Even county commissioners think they have autocratic, dictatorial powers. It amazes me how little power given can lead immediately to corruption. How do we get a new generation of morally righteous, benevolent, empathic people to run for government in the midst of all this dark nonsense?

      It is also due to these lower end governments getting used to no one showing up for any of their meetings. Normally the only people that will show up are the local wingnuts, so they treat everyone as one.

      I am in small town government and this happened right in front of me. Even valid issues are treated with the same contempt as the lady that wants us (the town counsel) to “do something” about those damn chem trails.
